It is built upon years of real experience, and the teaching methodology of Jason McDonald, used in his classes in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Stanford University's Continuing Studies program.

Google's AdWords platform enables you to create pay-per-click advertisements that appear as "sponsored links" when someone searches for content related to your product or service. You bid for the position to place your ad, and you only pay when someone clicks. It's that simple. If used correctly, AdWords can garner higher targeted traffic, which in turn will increase your conversion rates and profits.

Great SM Reference

If you have a base understanding of social media marketing, this book increase your knowledge of SM marketing substantially. But if you really want to master the subject, you have to take advantage of the downloadable toolbook and the links he references in the book. They are excellent resources, many of which I didn't know existed. If you are listening to the book, you can easily jot down the links and refer to them later. He provides you with a password to download the entire book so accessing the links is a snap. I have definitely seen and significant increase in industry engagement as a result of ideas from the book. I am not sure why people are aggravated by the links. You can choose only the links that interest you, and I have yet to click a link that was not relevant to what I needed. The author also provides his email address if you have specific questions. I was skeptical but sent an email with a question, and I had a response within 24 hours.

If you don’t learn something from this book perhaps you should be writing instead of reading

Well written and structured with tools to help with strategy and business planning. I devoured this book over five days via Audible during my daily commute to work. While I know a bit about social media I am no guru when it comes to SEO. Plenty of information for varying levels of knowledge. I feel newcomers will benefit the most from the SEO Fitness Wotkbook 2018 but even experienced marketers should glean some information if not some inspiration. Well worth the small price for a piece written by a Stanford PhD. I feel I received a fair amount of knowledge and I am inspired to pursue a higher level of training and knowledge. FYI Jason is quick to respond to email inquires - I feel like a I have a smart friend in the business now.

Annoying liks

The great audiobook for a person who is not familiar with SMM at all. But if you want to receive some deeper information for Social Madie you should consider another book.

Most of all I was annoyed by links.
